They also are used in large generators and other apparatus when the design permits the directional magnetic characteristics to be used efficiently.

First produced commercially by AK Steel, these magnetic materials exhibit their superior magnetic properties in the rolling direction. This directionality occurs because the steels are specially processed to create a very high proportion of grains within the steel which have similarly oriented atomic crystalline structures relative to the rolling direction. In iron-silicon alloys, this atomic structure is cubic and the crystals are most easily magnetized in a direction parallel to the cube edges. By a combination of precise steel composition, rigidly controlled cold rolling and annealing procedures, the crystals of these oriented electrical steels are aligned with their cube edges nearly parallel to the direction in which the steel is rolled. Consequently, they provide superior permeability and lower core loss when magnetized in this direction. Since the inception of grain oriented electrical steels in 1933, AK Steel Research has continued to develop new and improved grades to provide the electrical industry with core materials for the manufacture of more efficient electrical apparatus. AK Steel Oriented Mill-Anneal finish and LITE CARLITE Electrical Steels are suitable for those types of transformers where a stress relief annealing treatment of the magnetic core is used and the magnetic flux path is entirely, or predominately, in the rolling direction. The technology used for Oriented LITE CARLITE provides superior transformer performance when compared to oriented electrical steels with Mill-Anneal finish. This is accomplished by: • Excellent response to stress-relief annealing • High tension CARLITE® 3 coating FORMS AND STANDARD SIZES Nominal Thickness M-2: 0.007 in. (0.18 mm) M-3: 0.009 in.

It is a tightly adherent magnesiumsilicate type of coating equivalent to ASTM A976 C-2. Mill-Anneal coating provides insulative properties suitable for transformers operated at flux densities where the induced voltage is at or below 10 volts per turn such as distribution transformers and other devices. The Mill-Anneal surface provides good resistance to abrasion during winding into core form and will withstand stress-relieving anneal without loss of insulative value. No danger of transformer oil contamination exists with this coating. Prolonged exposure to oils or air at transformer operating temperatures does not endanger insulating qualities. CARLITE 3 SURFACE INSULATION AK Steel’s LITE CARLITE Grain Oriented Electrical Steels (GOES) products are supplied with CARLITE 3 insulative coating, an inorganic coating equivalent to ASTM A976 C-5. LITE CARLITE is ideal for materials that will be used in distribution transformers and other magnetic apparatus with low to moderate volts per turn where the cores are stress-relief annealed. In addition to supplying the basic benefits of C-5 Insulation, LITE CARLITE provides other important advantages which include: • Potential for reduced transformer building factor from added resistance to elastic strain damage • Potential for reduction of magnetostriction related transformer noise • High stacking factor • Easy assembly due to smoothness of coating (low coefficient of friction) Sample chemically etched to reveal grain structure 2 LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES SPECIFICATIONS In terms of maximum core loss, AK Steel Oriented Mill-Anneal and LITE CARLITE Electrical Steel specifications are determined at 17kG at 60Hz. Induction is specified at 10 Oe. All test grading is conducted using stress-relief annealed Epstein test samples which are tested in the direction of rolling in accordance with ASTM testing procedure A343. Samples are secured from each end of the coil and the higher core loss value is used for certification of conformance to product grade guarantees.

The following conditions apply: 1. Epstein test specimens sheared parallel to the rolling direction of the steel from fully processed coils and stress-relief annealed per ASTM A876. 2. Tested per ASTM A343. 3. Density of all grades is 7.65 g/cm³ per ASTM A34. ASTM A664 is a grade identification system for electrical steels. While this system has not been widely adopted by the manufacturers and consumers of electrical steels, it is used in ASTM A876 to designate various grades of grain oriented electrical steel. 3 LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES SURFACE INSULATION & LAMINATION FACTOR CURVES 0.69 0.69 100000 100000 - TEST PRESSURE ---MPa Test Pressure mPa Test Pressure mPa SURFACE INSULATION CURVES 6.89 6.89 0.006 0.006 The graph on the left shows the variation of surface insulation resistance versus pressure and provides a guide to users interested in knowing the relative insulative capabilities of the available surface finishes. Resistance values are typical of tests made on such surfaces by the Franklin Test (ASTM A717). However, the user should recognize that the normally small variations in mill oxide and coating thickness within a lot necessitate allowing for some test values lower as well as higher than those shown in the curves. LAMINATION FACTOR 0.031 0.031 Lamination factor is the measure of compactness of an electrical steel core. This is also referred to as “stacking factor” and “space factor.” Lamination factor is the ratio of the equivalent “solid” volume, calculated from weight and density of the steel, to the actual volume of the compressed pack, determined from its dimensions. Special processing gives AK’s Oriented Electrical Steels exceptionally and consistently high lamination factors. 10000 10000 0.114 0.114 TEST METHOD 0.244 0.244 1000 1000 The lamination factor of electrical steels is determined from measurements of a stack of Epstein strips under known pressure in accordance with ASTM A719.

While there are no agreed upon standard testing methods for magnetostriction, these data were acquired using an accelerometer-based measurement of crossover-to-tip displacement of many individual Epstein strips which were tested at a frequency of 60Hz at the inductions shown above. The magnetostriction values are, to our best knowledge, believed to be representative of commercially produced materials. 5 LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES STRESS-RELIEF ANNEALING In wound or formed cores, there is a substantial amount of both plastic and elastic strain which substantially degrades the magnetic properties of the electrical steel. When the strain is low, the strain will be elastic and removal of the load or restraining force will permit the steel to return to essentially a stress-free condition. However, if the steel is plastically deformed, it will retain stresses even after the load is removed. In these circumstances, stress-relief annealing is needed to return the material to a stress-free condition. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Although a thermal flattening treatment is part of the process for application of CARLITE 3 insulation coating to LITE CARLITE Oriented electrical steel, both AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE and Oriented Mill-Anneal products require stress-relief annealing to fully develop the magnetic properties. The annealing should be conducted for a suitable time and temperature in a protective atmosphere to prevent adverse changes to the steel chemistry. The parameters of time, temperature and atmosphere are not interchangeable with those procedures used for annealing of semiprocessed non-oriented or carbon lamination steel products. Conditions that create excessive thermal gradients should be avoided since these can reintroduce stresses and/or distort the shape of the steel. TEMPERATURE CYCLE While a soaking temperature of 1450 - 1500 °F (790 - 820 °C) for a time of at least 15 minutes is recommended, stress-relief annealing should be conducted for the shortest time possible without producing excessive thermal gradients. It is recommended that higher stress-relief annealing temperatures be employed only after experimentation with the cores being annealed shows it is clearly beneficial as higher annealing temperatures can result in increased “sticking” and/or “flaking” of the CARLITE coating. 6 LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES STRESS-RELIEF ANNEALING Proper specification of annealing time must take into account the size and weight of the finished cores being annealed, the degree of exposure to heating and cooling during annealing and the amount of plastic deformation imparted by core fabrication. The furnace heat input should be adjusted so that the heating rate is not too great when approaching the soaking temperature. Forcing cores to heat rapidly to soak temperature should be avoided owing to incomplete annealing and/or thermal distortion is likely. If the cores are not well exposed, the length of the soaking period should be extended. Proper specification of the cooling time requires similar consideration. It is recommended that the rate of cooling after annealing does not exceed 185 °F (85 °C) per hour from soaking temperature to 1400 °F (750 °C) and not exceed 330 °F (165 °C) per hour to a temperature of 1200 °F (650 °C). Steel cores or laminations usually can be removed from the protective atmosphere at 600 - 700 ° F (325 - 375 °C) without ill effect. ANNEALING ATMOSPHERE The Mill-Anneal finish (sometimes referred to as Glass Film) is developed at very high temperatures in a hydrogen atmosphere. Consequently, it is completely compatible with hydrogen-nitrogen mixtures ranging from 0 to 100% nitrogen without adversely affecting the interlaminar resistance quality of the insulation coating. However, for economy and safety, the hydrogen content usually is maintained below 10%. Vacuum annealing gives very satisfactory results with a Mill-Anneal surface, but may be too costly. AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE is supplied with a CARLITE 3 type of insulation coating. The qualities of the CARLITE coating are best maintained or enhanced when stress-relief annealing is conducted in an atmosphere that is neutral or slightly oxidizing to iron. An oxygen-free nitrogen atmosphere or a nitrogen-hydrogen mixture containing 5% hydrogen or less is recommended for batch annealing where exposure times in excess of one hour are typical. Vacuum annealing of CARLITE insulated materials is not recommended. Continuous stress-relief annealing of slit widths or single laminations may be carried out in air if the exposure time is only a matter of minutes. ANNEALING ATMOSPHERE CONDITIONS TO AVOID AK Steel Oriented Electrical Steels are produced under exacting controls of composition and processing to provide a steel that is extremely low in impurities such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. The Mill-Anneal insulation coating provides very limited protection to contaminants in the annealing atmosphere, significant degradation of the magnetic properties will occur if these impurities are reintroduced into the steel. The CARLITE insulation coating of the Oriented LITE CARLITE electrical steels does provide some protection, degradation of the magnetic properties will also occur if these above mentioned impurities are reintroduced into the steel. Annealing atmospheres which contain high chemical potentials of carbon, oxygen or their compounds may contaminate the steel under certain circumstances and should be avoided. 7 LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES THICKNESS, WIDTH, CAMBER & FLATNESS TOLERANCES THICKNESS TOLERANCES Nominal Thickness, in.

FLATNESS TOLERANCES While a thermal flattening treatment is part of the process for application of CARLITE 3 insulation coating, the conventional flattening methods for electrical steel products were not used in the production of AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE due to their effects on magnetic quality after stress-relief annealing. Because of this circumstance, AK Steel Oriented LITE CARLITE typically has a small amount of coil set remaining in the delivered product. Thereby, it is not feasible to employ flatness tolerance tables for flat rolled steel. Some applications, and certain types of fabricating techniques for construction of magnetic cores, are tolerant of certain flatness deviations. However, it is generally recognized that sharp, short waves and buckles are objectionable and should be avoided as much as possible. The producer should determine the flatness requirements for its particular application and the suitability of this electrical steel. 8 LITE CARLITE® AND MILL-ANNEAL GOES MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS Thickness 0.007 in.
